4.0 out of 5 stars
AN LP AND A HALF - 64 mins, August 14, 2008
This review is from: Complete Introducing Sessions (Audio CD)
64 mins of music from two sessions in Nov 1956 for the Savoy label. Lee Morgan trumpet, Hank Mobley tenor sax, and a rhythm section led by Hank Jones. Tracks 3-6 are a 12 min. ballad medley but you can isolate the tracks if you wish. The bassist Watkins plays the first tune then Lee has the longest segment on P.S. I Love You followed by Jones on Easy Living and Mobley on That's All. Fats Navarro's- Nostalgia is the plum of the date but really should be placed elsewhere. The 5 originals aren't really memorable on first hearing but the emphasis was on strong soloing and Lee and Hank do plenty of that. Thad's Blues is more down tempoed than the others. This Was Lee's only recording for Savoy. He began his 15 yr. association with Blue Note very shortly thereafter.
